Chase Rice is out with new single, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen,” following his two-part 2020 release The Album, Pt. I & II. The song features friends and longtime cohorts, Florida Georgia Line. It marks their first collaboration since their record-breaking, Diamond certified No. 1, “Cruise” in 2012.
Chase: I actually wrote this song with Cale Dodds, Hunter Phelps and Corey Crowder, who’s FGL’s producer, so he obviously played the song for them and they loved it from the get-go. Brian, Tyler and I used to live in a house together 10 years ago and we wrote a bunch of songs back then, so it’s really cool to be doing music for the first time in 10 years. It’s a really special song.
Tyler Hubbard: This song really just means a lot to us, because it’s real… you know? It’s a story, it’s a song about the life that we live and what happens a lot of times when we get together and we’re reminiscing about life and talking about where we’re at, what we’re going through. Having a few drinks, and you know, just being real. [And] we typically start talking about God and what he’s doing in our life and talking about deeper stuff, so it’s a lot of fun and really the first time that I heard this song I could totally relate. Chase is one of those guys that we have a long history together we’ve been roommates before, we’ve had a lot of great memories and a lot of good times… And multiple times we’ve been sitting around ‘Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God.’ so it just felt real, it felt timely, it felt appropriate, it felt like a lot of fun, so we couldn’t wait to jump on it with him and really just an honor to be a part of it.
